Trump expressed frustration Thursday at the prospect of that review, again taking to Twitter to denounce the probe as a "witch hunt", and complaining that Hillary Clinton should be the subject of a Russia-related investigation , not him. (more...)

The bogey there put him at 2 over, and on the par-5 14th, he overcooked a chip shot up the steep hill, which led to another three-putt and another bogey.

Throw in the fact that world No. 1 Angelique Kerber , who beat Venus in the semifinals past year, is struggling, and it's not out of the question to picture Williams standing with the winner's trophy hoisted high above her head. "It's a very painful defeat here in the French Open ", she said afterwards. Anointed as the player to take over Williams' mantle, Muguruza has subsequently failed to reach a single final at any tournament. (more...)

I might have 40 majors ahead of me in my career, and if I prepare very, very hard for all of them and I stay fit and healthy and keep working on my game, those 40 can hopefully produce 15 chances. No one has accomplished such a feat since Bobby Jones swept the US and British Opens and Amateurs, the four biggest events of his day, in 1930.

Those two wickets against Sri Lanka have been his only two of the tournament so far, however, albeit his economy rate is a respectable 4.79. If they could get 265 runs so easily losing only one wicket, another 60-70 would not have put them under any pressure. (more...)

In the first Instagram photo, two-time NBA MVP and former Davidson star Stephen Curry can be seen looking down while Lapid works on the art on his arm. "We've overcome a lot of doubts", said Tulio Zelada, 28, a San Francisco resident who attended the parade.
